Angry Saints to appeal
24 Apr 2009 - 11:22:22
Southampton are set to launch an appeal after the Football League imposed a ten-point penalty on them.
The ruling was made after an investigation into the Saints' finances when their holding company, Southampton Leisure Holdings plc, went into administration.
The club are arguing that because the club itself is not in administration they should avoid the points penalty.
The club's administrators issued an angry response to the League's decision, saying in a statement: ''The administrators and the club were informed of the League's intention to issue a release on the findings of the independent forensic report five minutes before its publication, leaving no time for consultation and to inform fans, players and staff.
''We are of the opinion that an incorrect conclusion has been reached. The football regulations do not apply to the circumstances surrounding Southampton Football Club.''
